the major parties have seen their primary votes fall from 96% in 1975 to 68% in 2022.

they had two options to arrest the decline:

1. win back trust with good governance & good policy
2. rig the system

tonight they chose to rig the system.

a dark day for australian democracy.

Just re-upping this again because the Temu Trumps in the LNP insist on bringing every culture war here: the Morrison govt spent $20.8bn on consultants in its final year - the equivalent of 54,000 FT public servants. The private sector benefits with govt cuts. No one else.

Policy free zone = unfounded insults.

Real issues need real solutions.

If you want to be the PM, do the work.
